Five years ago, I had made one quilt, self designed, and had so much fun I wanted to keep quilting. But I was intimidated by patterns and historically quite bad at math, and measurement, and not inspired to make traditional quilts.

Then my mother sent me this book. This book was a gamechanger for me. I did not know much in the quilting world, and to see this book with it's beautiful colors, wonky fabulousness, and permission to play was exactly what I needed. As it turns out, I have yet to make a quilt based on any of her inspirations (a typical for me). It has, however, inspired my design process on many of the quilts I have completed in my four years of quilting.
